The latest New Yorker cover presents an ominous view of a Trump presidency

The New Yorker's first cover produced since Donald Trump won
Tuesday's presidential election has been revealed, and it
features a colossal brick wall.

The illustration, by Bob Staake for the November 21 issue,
alludes to one of Trump's most infamous campaign promises — to
build a wall along the US-Mexico border — but it was also
designed to capture the shock many Americans received Tuesday
night after Trump's upset victory.

"When we first received the results of the election, we felt as
though we had hit a brick wall, full force," art editor
Françoise Mouly wrote on the website.

New Yorker editor-in-chief
David Remnick has been a vigorous critic of Trump, and he
lamented the impact he said Trump's victory would have on
Americans' civil liberties, the Supreme Court, and the newly
emboldened Republican-controlled Congress.

"The election of Donald Trump to the Presidency is nothing less
than a tragedy for the American republic, a tragedy for the
Constitution, and a triumph for the force, at home and abroad, of
nativism, authoritarianism, misogyny, and racism," he wrote.
